Do you think Baregg needed a constable? In the map we have of Baaregg there are only six buildings. The page before the map says 1825. This is a hamlet, not a village. According to the 1640 Bevölkerungsverzeichnis there were two families living there!!! All the best, KG

Do you think Baregg needed a constable?

Definitely not! He was just living there.

Possibly.

I am not sure what all his duties were … some in "home office" ? 🤔 It will not have been a fully paid job - to earn his living he must have done something else. "Wachtmeister" was just an official position and as such mentioned in records.
